The name of Ruza

The city of the city survived the strongest flood in its entire history

Ilya Shorina 36 years old. It has free camouflage pants, a black T -shirt with the inscription “Thank God, we are Cossacks” and Kubanka trimmed with fur. Touched gray hair, short-haired hair are peeled out from under it. The vessels burst in the right eye: Ilya did not sleep for several days, protecting his house from the looters. More precisely, what remains of him.

On July 7, heavy rain collapsed on Ruza near Moscow. A monthly rainfall fell during the night. The water in the Gorodyanka River, more like a stream, began to rise quickly and flooded the section of the Volokolamsk highway near the bakery. The stream rushed into the Ustinovsky pond, which fenced a sandy embankment. Locals call it a technical dam.

When the water level reached a critical mark, the authorities decided to “cut” a piece of the embankment with an excavator in order to smoothly lower the water and thus protect the central part of the city from flood. But the element behaved unpredictably. In the evening, the culverts could not stand the pressure, and the stream poured towards the Ruza River.

Straight through the private sector.

In the afternoon, employees of the district administration began to send to people living in the lowland near Gorodyanka, warning about evacuation. By the time of the breakthrough of the dam, 52 people were evacuated from there, among them - seven children. Some left for relatives, others settled in a sanatorium in the neighboring village of Babaevo.

The evacuated learned about what happened in the city from social networks. Eyewitnesses posted a video on which a powerful stream of dirty water with a root pulls out trees. Tables and chairs, refrigerators, greenhouses and a fence sailed into the ruza. On the Internet instantly became a viral video shot by a local resident. You can hear him screaming: “Ilyukhin went home! Our so far holds out. ”

The one that “went” was the house of Cossack Shorin.

“I work as a tractor driver, earn an average of 30-35 thousand. I have a wife and two children. Recently I took a loan for repairs. It remains to pay a million three hundred. To restore the house, it will take approximately 12-13 million. Nobody will give me such a loan. Yes, and there is no desire to be here. Some kind of grief in my soul, ”Ilya tells us. His brown eyes shine.

- Just recently, everything was fine. My daughter played ... And now there is nothing. ”

A tanned man in a white T -shirt descends to the place of disaster. In a whisper swearing, takes a picture in memory and, trying not to get bogged down in the mud, rises back to the roadway. A lot of such onlookers on Gorodyanskaya Street on Friday in the afternoon. Everyone came to stare at the injured houses: from mothers with strollers and small children to pensioners.

The private sector looks like a battlefield. Broken boards torn from the loops of the doors and windows stick out from everywhere. A three -meter piece of asphalt stuck between the trees. Drinking trees, galoshes and a children's bicycle. A new gray heater nailed to one site, a sewing machine to the other.

The owners have not yet been found.

About a hundred employees of the MBU "Viscondition" on the orange "God's cows" - KAMAZs gathered to eliminate the consequences of the flood. Gas service employees comb the territory along with Stalker. So they call the device that is looking for a gas pipeline underground. The Emchetsevs cut down trees and try to tame the riverbed. Volunteers help the injured residents.

According to official information, 29 sites were damaged from the flood. Two buildings were completely washed off, five more were damaged. Among them is the house of 80-year-old Tamara Ivanovna Semin. A sofa and a chair floated through the broken wall. The floor is covered with a thick layer of silt and swollen. The pensioner scrapes the dirt with an garden chip, she has no other application yet. In the place of greenhouses and beds is now an empty field.

- All plums were demolished, currant, four apple trees. Only one gooseberry bush survived. Imagine the state of the grandmother, who lived here for 20 years, the children came to her every summer, and then see all this, ”the pensioner complains, looking like her tears.

“You’ll plant it, grandmother, don’t worry,” the 11-year-old granddaughter of Vika consoles her.

- Plant. If I am alive ...

Tamara Ivanovna has no money to restore the house. She and her husband live on one pension. The head of the Moscow Region Andrei Vorobyov promised to provide "maximum assistance" to all the victims. But what will be the amount of material compensation, is not yet clear. Only the amount that the authorities will spend on the restoration of infrastructure is known-25-30 million rubles.

Local residents interviewed by the "New" are sure that the breakthrough of the dam could be avoided if the authorities of the Ruzsky district monitored its condition.

According to them, no one cleaned the culverts that are under the embankment for several years.

However, the head of the Ruza administration Nikolai Parkhomenko refused to confirm this version: “The commission has now been created, understands. There, both visiting and law enforcement agencies work. I think colleagues will give a professional assessment. ”

The Rujans say that there is a lot of dirt not only in the area of ​​the dam, but also on the streets of the city. In their opinion, a garbage problem exists throughout the Ruzsky district. It worsened in the spring of 2018, when the inhabitants of the villages of Sychevo and Shchelkanovo opposed the creation of a landfill for solid household waste. Protesters were afraid that she would pollute the water of the Rules River, which flown into Lake and Ruzo and Moscow River. In addition, there are two artesian wells close to the main source of water supply to several districts near Moscow: Ruzsky, Volokolamsk and Mozhaisky.

Local officials called this decision temporary and forced in connection with the garbage collapse in Volokolamsk. Maxim Tarkhanov, who then headed the Ruzsky district, could not deal with the landfill for all the time of the service. In November 2018, he left his post, he was replaced by Tatyana Vitusheva. Then residents were promised to eliminate the landfill, but for the whole last year, they said, only a few waste with waste were taken out from there.

“The administration is constantly changing. Each says that it is necessary to take measures [to eliminate urban problems]. But while officials are trying to do this, the leadership is leaving, ”says Anna Urmanova, a resident of Ruza.

Last fall, Nikolai Parkhomenko came to the place of Vitusheva. Under him in March this year, a state of emergency was introduced at the landfill. GOSTELECANALS reported that in two months about 20 thousand tons of waste and more than 5 thousand tons of filtrate were taken out from there (a liquid that is released from garbage during decay - E.K. ).

“Our task is that by the end of the summer there is a reclamation to be carried out to the flowers and the grass overgrown,” Andrei Vorobyov promised in June.

Local is not only barking, but also the quality of the roads. “They are soil, in the best case, they are covered with rubble,” Anna notes. “I know people who return from work in civilian clothes, and then put on rubber boots and go home two km in puddles.”

Residents complain about the overgrown hogweed. However, with a laugh, they add that after the breakthrough of the dam it has become smaller.

Perhaps this is the only plus from the flood.
